| Message | Bob mentioned in a guestbook entry last month that Bill Irwin had passed away. I read in an obituary this evening that Bill passed away in Ramsey, NJ July 24, 2014 at age 94. The internet address of the funeral home where his obituary is printed is vanemburghsneider.com |

| Message | Greg and Jim, I'm sure, speak for all of us in saying how sad we were to learn of Dave's passing. We've lost an irreplacable leader and a good friend! I'm in awe of Dave's efforts he put into seeking out those of us that served aboard the Spangler. The count exceeds well over 400 names - that's a lot of phone calls and letter writing - and a lot of renewed friendships. Bill Irwin was an absolute delight to visit with at the reunions. I loved listening to his seatales! |

| Message | My condolences to Dave Norris 's family. I served with Dave in his time on our ship. I was privileged to attend his wedding. I have been unable to attend the reunions since Indianopplis but my heart has always been there. Dave did an outstanding job in developing our group and by locating a lot of us. It had to be a labor of love, he will be greatly missed. He helped a lot of us keep up with friends of our youth. |

| Message | Thanks Jimmie, I can't think of anyone who I would have been more excited to see your dad. The tells we could tell! Some day we will get that opportunity and I'm looking forward to it!

| Message | First of all, I would like to say to all of you, THANK YOU for serving your country and protecting us and our beliefs as a nation. Next, I would like to say that I am very proud of my father(Jimmie VanHorn) who had such a great bunch of men like you to serve with. Thank you for putting all those pictures of my dad and grandpa on this site. He was very proud to have served with guys like you. He told me many times about serving with you guys on the Spangler. He was planning on going to the next reunion when he started having problems related to his cancer. He wanted to go to the reunion so very much to see you all again but he just couldn't overcome the weakness and pain. He passed at home with his family and went peaceful. I know he will see you all again someday. With all my love and respect for you all, Thank you. jimmie_vanhorn1962@yahoo.com |
